Clean up a git repo
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# This script will clean up your git repo by doing the following:
# => Pull the latest master
# => Perform a 'git remote prune origin'
# => Delete all local branches that are fully merged into master
# => Delete all remote branches that are fully merged into master (if the --remote option is passed)
# This has to be run from master
git checkout master
read -p "Pull master (y/n)? "
if [ "$REPLY" == "y" ]
then
# Pull the latest master
git pull origin master

# Update our list of remotes
git fetch
git remote prune origin
# Remove local fully merged branches
git branch --merged master | grep -v 'master$' | xargs git branch -d
